DJ Jazzy Jeff and Ayah today released the new video for “Forgive Me Love,” a single from their highly regarded Back for More project. The video, directed by Toronto’s Slakah the Beatchild is beautifully executed with a thought provoking twist. Viewers will be left reflecting on the very real situations in this cautionary portrayal. It is a raw and honest production that drives home the timeless message that things are not always what they seem.

The official video for the second single off The New North compilation, JD Era Ft. Lokz “Change”.

‘A young man is surrounded by life’s troubles and obstacles. He is in search of something positive to give him hope, he finds it in the words of JD Era. “Change” is the second single off The Real Frequency’s The New North compilation featuring some of Toronto’s finest. JD Era and LOKZ provide fitting rhymes and vocals for this Soundsmith produced beat.’

The second official release from the New North compilation, features the prince of the north, JD Era. Change is a different sound than the typical Era, with it’s positive vibe and smooth production from Soundsmith, mixed in with vocals from Lokz, it shows another dimension of this up coming emcee.

“Change” was inspired by the title of The Real Frequency’s project “The New North”. I feel like this album symbolizes a changing of the guard, passing the torch to those next up from Toronto. Being a young artist and having been fortunate enough to have gotten an early start in this music industry, I felt this was the perfect record to motivate those that want to pick up the mic. At the same time, I’m letting them know that nothing comes easy, so work hard, and believe in yourself.”

- JD Era

Some more heat from Tona, watch for his album SilverSpring Cres dropping this Fall.

Most people live there everyday lives based on routine. Routines are in place to give your life order, structure and a purpose.
Then we have those designated days were the routine has become so monotonous that we will do almost anything to break it just to maintain our sanity. This is portrayed in Tona’s new visual “Break Off” Directed by Tona and Anthony Payne.

Tona continues to bring that “Reality” over Rich Kidd production, with vocal assistance from Richie Hennessey. If you can relate to the feeling of wanting to “Break Off” from any particular attachment…this is your song.

Stay on the lookout out for Tona’s highly anticipated album “SILVERSPRING CRESCENT” coming Fall 2011.
